Hurry! It's the friendly piper.
On an otherwise beautiful night, the denizens of the Enchanted Forest, including Wendy, are all sad and blue. Even the Moon is blue. Casper flies to the Moon to learn the cause of the blue-epidemic. He finds that the Man in the Moon is blue and, when the Man in the Moon is blue, everything else also becomes blue. It seems that the Moon has been invaded by large packs of Earth-mice who make the Man in the Moon miserable (or blue). Casper "pied-pipers" the mice back to Earth, causing the denizens of the Enchanted Forest to not only remain blue... but become scared as well.
